[Agent-Analyst] Compiler Error: Cannot compare java.lang.Double and double

[Elnaz I. <e.i...@uq...>]

Hello

I'm contacting you regarding RepastPy, Agent Analyst package. I've encountered to a compiler error which I really don't know how could I solve it. Because the language is not Java or Python completely and I'm confused.

I defined an ArrayList and add some Double values to it. But when I'm going to compare these values, there is this error:

Compiler Error: Cannot compare java.lang.Double and double
if (mindiSS<1000.0):
The code is:
def Double discalc():
distancelist = ArrayList()
for customer as Customer in self.model.customers:
                        difY = customer.the_geom.y - point.y
                        difX = customer.the_geom.x - point.x
                        diSSS = Math.sqrt((difX*difX) + (difY*difY))
                        diSS = double(diSSS)
                        distancelist.add(Double(diSS))
                        mindiSS = Collections.min(distancelist)
            if (mindiSS <1000.0):
                        print "OK"

Also, I have another warning error that I don't know how could I solve it

WARNING: Field Length for y set to 19 Preserving length, but should be set to Max of 18 for dbase III specification.

[Agent-Analyst] Memory allocation during Agent Analyst looping

[Jeremy R. <lak...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

I am currently using the Agent Analyst adaptation of Repast within the
ArcGIS framework.

The model I've built is capable of doing what I'd like (ie. randomly
generating biologically-sensible migration pathways in order to find
NDVI-maximized routes).  However, in the loop I'm doing where I make an
ArrayList for each randomization ('Positions'), and then iterate this into
another, sorted ArrayList ('Movements', I find that after about 25-35k
loops (ie. TickCount) the Java program crashes.

Upon inspection it looks like the RAM used by Java during this process
rapidly grows to take over all available memory.

If you are willing to provide some input into what might be going on that
is overloading the RAM (e.g., retained ArrayLists in the cache), I would be
very grateful.

Here is the XML for the ABM I've created:

[Agent-Analyst] Assistance in Agent analyst

[Vidya S. G. <vsg...@ya...>]

Hello,

 

I am trying to simulate movement of occupants from three different floors of
a building to the nearest exit on ground floor using ArcScene and am using
the Agent analyst extension.

 

The occupants is a vector shapefile and similarly I have made vector
shapefiles of route to the nearest exit. The shapefile contains intersection
nodes of the route. I thought of moving the occupants by programming them to
move from one node to another. This I want to do for all the occupants which
are in different rooms of different floor. The problem is that I don't have
any idea how to achieve it. The Agent Analyst book does contain example of
moving an object relative to a raster surface but mine is a vector shapefile
and I don't know how to load a vector shapefile.

 

My second problem is how to make the occupants 'aware' of the node and then
move relative to these nodes. Agent analyst book does contain codes to move
objects however it is not relative to another shapefile. Can I get some
codes to show movement like this. Thirdly, I want to know if there is any
possibility of showing the movement in ArcScene in 3D. I have tried to see
movement but no success.

 

Thanks in advance

[Agent-Analyst] Error Starting RepastPy

[Marc P. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am a new comer with Agent Analyst.
I added the Agent Analyst tool at the toolbox but it prompts me the
following message: Error Starting RepastPy: No exception message
And when I try to open the tool I read "This tool has no parameters"

I am a Windows 7 user with ArcGIS 9.3
Is it because I am using the 9.3 version or because the OS...?
How could I solve the problem

Thank you vey much

[Agent-Analyst] Support Agent Analyst Development

[Phil M. <phi...@ya...>]

I'm trying to take advantage of ESRI's new "idea.arcgis.com" to help drum up 
some support and interest in Agent Analyst. You can click on the link below, 
login, and "promote" the idea I put forth to make Agent Analyst an ArcToolbox 
standard.

(I introduced a similar idea asking to "officially" integrate R into ArcToolbox)

Thanks!

Nick,

The problem of remove agent is resolved. Thank you.

How to create a grid agent by NQPY code?
I've found the codes in tutorial:
  
for i in range(10):

  agent = GenericAgent()

  agent.setModel(self)

  self.genericAgentGroup.add(agent)

I've tried it to create a grid agent: 
  agent = self.LifeAgents()
but it doesn't work. It's unsuccessful to be compiled.

Re: [Agent-Analyst] Error in Agent Analyst

[lklk <for...@ho...>]

Hi,
I don't know exactly. But do you see a window console (black) comme out when you click the toolbox AA?
If there isn't, maybe sommething is wrong for the installation.

You can try to open a shapefile or a projet in the ArcMap first, and then you try again for the AA tools.

Ps: I'm new for Agent Analyst, but it seems there are not many people in the list to ask or answer the questions.

With warm regards,

Liang Ke

Dear All,

 

I downloaded (for ArcGIS 9.2) the AA (Agent Analyst) from
University of Redlands website
(http://www.institute.redlands.edu/AgentAnalyst/) and installed it. After that
I followed all the instructions (open tool box, add a new tool box, rename it,
right click on it and then go to new, add agent analysis tool). Once done with
this, I clicked on AA tool. I got a new window whose title is TOOL. I clicked
on help button and it is not working. I am using ArcGIS 9.3.1. Repast Symphony
is also installed on my system.

 

Am I missing something? Any help will be greatly
appreciated. I am also attaching a copy of my screen shot for your view.

 

Thanking you in advance.

 

with warm regards,

Puneet Dwivedi

[Agent-Analyst] how to make an agent die?

[lklk <for...@ho...>]

Hi, :-)
I'm a student who work on Agent Analyst for a projet GIS. 
As a beginner, I'm trying to create a simple Grid model " Game Of Life of Conway" .

But now I don't know how to program in the agent's "action" to make an agent die. For exemple, if there is an agent who doesn't have neighbors, he will be die in next tick.

Which class should I use? 

Thanks a lot!

Re: [Agent-Analyst] Agent Analyst arcGIS 9.3

[Strout, N. <nat...@sp...>]

I just answered a similar question but I know it is impossible to wade through the SPAM on the message board. Here was my response...
---------------

Hi all,
We are hoping to work with Argonne Labs to resolve this spam issue. We may end up moving this over to a new service as SourceForge's lists obviously seem to have some issues. We'll keep you posted on this.

I just got confirmation that there currently is NO ArcGIS 9.3 version. I have been told that they hope to release a 9.3 version but no details as to when yet. Again, we'll post new details as we get them.
I don't know if this helps, but my personal solution has been to keep a Virtual Machine with 9.2 (and Windows XP) installed on it. Microsoft has a very nice (and free!) Virtual PC program that you can download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/


Hope this answers a few questions and thanks for your patience on this!
Nate

moment. I was wondering, whether there is any way how to make it usable 
or hasn't it been adapted yet?

Re: [Agent-Analyst] same problem with Chris Leatherman

[Strout, N. <nat...@sp...>]

Hi all, 
We are hoping to work with Argonne Labs to resolve this spam issue. We may end up moving this over to a new service as SourceForge's lists obviously seem to have some issues. We'll keep you posted on this.

I just got confirmation that there currently is NO ArcGIS 9.3 version. I have been told that they hope to release a 9.3 version but no details as to when yet. Again, we'll post new details as we get them.
I don't know if this helps, but my personal solution has been to keep a Virtual Machine with 9.2 (and Windows XP) installed on it. Microsoft has a very nice (and free!) Virtual PC program that you can download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/


Hope this answers a few questions and thanks for your patience on this!
Nate

Subject: [Agent-Analyst] same problem with Chris Leatherman

Hi,Everyone

I am a new comer here. I am wondering why there are so many junk emails in the email archive ?

I met same problem that Chris Leatherman had  when I am trying to embed AA into ArcGIS 9.3.  I installed the Agent Analyst in my computerwith out any problem, but when I try to add into ArcGIS 9.3 toolbox as a new tool,  it runs a little while in the Dos window and then it  shows that:

c:\Program Files\Repast3|Agent analyst>pause
Press any key to continue...

at the same time poped out a window called Pepast Py Error,which says

Error Starting Repast Py:No Exception Message

All the same with what Chris Leatherman showed as the  ppt in Christ Leatherman's massage on  2009-01-8.



Dose anyone can give me some clue about that problem? It would be very grateful that some feedback can be received!

I have a feeling that AA should be a very good software with great potential. However, the forum's quality should be improved urgently!

Best wishes

Mira

Re: [Agent-Analyst] (no subject)

[Kevin J. <kjo...@es...>]

Hi Richard,

 

We are still working on a tutorial style ESRI Press book on how to use
Agent Analyst. It should be ready hopefully before next summer if not
sooner. I remind people that this is an open source public domain
product (not an ESRI product) and any help with documentation and beta
testing are welcome. Please contact me directly if you are interested in
making this product a reality.

 

Currently there is a fair amount of new development on handling raster
data in Agent Analyst in order to make the Analyst a more robust
spatially explicit agent-based modeling environment.

 

Thanks.

 

Kevin J

At the ESRI UC I heard that a 9.0-3 compliant version would be released
Q1 2008. Additionally, documentation would be released. Perhaps someone
could confirm or deny this notion??? Lastly, if beta testers are
required I would be interested in participating.

Ravi,

 

We have run some of our models using 9.3 and they appear to work fine.
However we have not thoroughly tested Agent Analyst with 9.3.  Please
email me any issues or successes you have with 9.3.

 

Thanks.

[Agent-Analyst] ArcGIS / AA toolbox question

[Ty F. <tyf...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm trying to make the AA toolbox permanent in ArcGIS but can't seem to
figure out how to do it.  I have to add a new toolbox and reload everytime I
open ArcMap.  Is there a way to save AA tool as a system tool so it shows up
when opening, like all the other toolboxes?

Thanks,

[Agent-Analyst] ABM / GIS integration

[Ty F. <tyf...@gm...>]

I'm unclear on the relationship of

RepastPy -> NQPy -> Agent Analyst and ESRI ArcGIS and

Repast S -> GeoTools

and how to invest my time in developing my knowledge of programming
languanges.

ABM/Spatial integration is critical to my research, and I've always like
ESRI ArcGIS; 9.x is quite good.  I'm unclear of the future for the GIS
component. I know Brazil has developed open source GIS/ABMs - is something
similar planned here?

Thanks,

Ty

[Agent-Analyst] need more tutorials / help

[Ty F. <tyf...@gm...>]

I've worked through the three Tutorials on
http://www.institute.redlands.edu/agentanalyst/Tutorials.html and need more
material to improve my skills.  One of my coworkers here is using eclipse
and running it into Repast, but hasn't incorporated the ArcGIS component
into her model.  Would someone please make some suggestions on where to go
from here in order to continue learning how to program in Agent Analyst
(NQPy) -- RepastPy, Java etc...

Thanks,

[Agent-Analyst] model set up help

[jay b. <jay...@gm...>]

I am a student, non-programmer and new to RePast.  I would like to ask if
someone can help me set up my model.  I am researching on land use change
modeling. I am using irregular polygons (parcel lots) as my unit of
analysis. I have prepared all the necessary inputs to the model including
the transition rules for cellular automata. With these data, I believe I
can now use RePast to simulate land use. However, I do not know how to do
programming in Java. Can someone have the time to help?  Please email me and
let me know how much this work will cost? By the way, I am familiar with
ArcGIS 9.2. Thank you.

Re: [Agent-Analyst] error following tutorialone procedure

[Nick C. <nic...@ve...>]

A syntax error like this occurs when the indentation block has been  
messed up somehow. The best way to do fix it, is to ensure that you  
have no white space after the ":", and then reindent everything in  
the block after that.
